This has been a busy month! Izabella has changed a lot and is now
10lbs 8 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long!
For the last 10 days she has been sleeping in her crib and has slept from 11pm until 6:45 am.... she wakes up for a bottle and then is back to sleep until 10am! We love the almost 8 hours of consecutive sleep!
She started cooing a couple of weeks ago and we are getting numerous smiles a day! Her favorite thing to do right now is lay on her back and play with her tummy time toy. When she kicks at the toys they sing and light up! It is so much fun to watch her as she gets excited and starts kicking and moving! She also loves to admire the pretty baby in the mirror too!
We finally grew out of her newborn diapers and clothes so now each morning we have so many more options to choose from! Not that a girl can have too many clothes! Tim likes to say that once she was born her closet "puked pink" and we love it!!! I have so much fun dressing her up!
My favorite time with her is in the morning after she wakes up for the second time...she is in a great mood and as soon as I look over the crib and say "good morning" I get the biggest smiles! We play and read books until it is time to eat again!
Tim does most of the nightly duties and enjoys playing with her. Now he is also is doing her baths which she loves! His favorite spot still though is when she cuddles up on his chest and naps!
We couldn't have imagined all the joys we have felt over these last two months as we have become parents! It has been the best gift in the world! We know how truly blessed we are to have Izabella in our lives each day!

Thank you for sharing this great site. She is so cute and you look beautiful. We look forward to seeing you on Thanksgiving at Grandma Shirley's.
We're so glad Angie taught you how to create "The Maines Family" blog. This will be a fun way to keep everyone up to date with great photos to go along with each entry too!! Of course, we think Izabella is the most beautiful baby girl with a charming personality, and the sweetest little smiles ever!!
Love,
G'ma and G'pa Maines
